Convert $msec to sec

Server NGINX
1

I need to log the seconds since epoch (without the millisecond
resolution)
in the access_log file

is there is a way to convert the $msec to seconds or drop the
exponential
part of the time . Probably using the map function?.

Thank you,

It’s easy with the map directive:

map $msec $sec {
    ~^(?P<_sec>.+)\. $_sec;
}

used in the map directive:
